I think all of them are good, except for #1... Rollins has a good defense for winning MVP.

J. Roll's defense and base running have an impact. Holliday's home v. away splits...Holliday was still good on the road but only good. .722 slugging home vs .485 slugging away and his OBP drops 60 points as well and his BA drops 40 points too. Holliday was a negative defender in LF.

Wright was better than both of them in 2007.

8.8 fWAR compared to Holliday's 7.7 and Rollin's 6.9 (Shea Stadium was a lot less hitter friendly than Citizen's Bank and Coor's Field that year)

Wright also had the highest rWAR of the three. (8.1 to 5.8 for Holliday and 5.5 for Rollins)

There are debetable snubs, like 11 and 05 NL Cy Youngs, but here are, 'these were messed up' awards

07
Wright should have won over Jimmy Rollins

06
Santana should have won over his team mate Justin Morneau
Pujols clearly should have won over Ryan Howard

05 Santana clearly deserved it over Bartolo Colon

04 Ichiro probably should have won, but Vlad def shouldn't have won. Not sure who really should have won, Ichiro makes a lot of sense though.
Johnson should have beat Clemens

02 A-Rod was way better than Tejada
Prior deserved it over Gagne

Didn't mess with Roy

so I got 8, clear snubs, 2 more debatable one's, and I only agree with Romo on the 02 AL MVP, and the 04 NL Cy Young. And while I agree there are some snubs at a few other years, we don't agree on who should have won.

Morneau over Santana in '06 was not a snub, that or I have a different definition of the word snub.

FIP=better pitcher
WAR is fact

Strikeouts are overrated
